Jin visited his predecessor's study with only Reiko, holding a white lily that was in full bloom in Horaijima.

He put the white lily in a vase that Reiko had brought and put it on the desk.

"I don't know if my predecessor liked this flower or not..."

"No, I'm sure your mother would have liked white flowers.

Reiko's confident tone makes Jin question her and asks, "Why do you think so?

"Why do you think so?"

"...... No, it just seemed that way to me."

"I see.

Jin wondered if there might be some of these memories left in his control core.

Then, he looked at the bookshelf and took out a diary with the inscription "My Fumitoki San" (My Fumitoki 3).

This diary is a valuable document that allows us to learn about the world a thousand years ago through the eyes of our predecessors.

Jin undoes the clasp and gently opens the cover.

With the help of the <<<< Morira>> clans, my knowledge has improved dramatically. But I still have a long way to go. I have heard that there is a tribe called the in the interior. There, the key to further improvement may lie. ......>>

"<>?　What kind of place is it?"

Adriana asked back, a word she had heard in the course of small talk.

"It is said to be the place where our ancestors first landed ......."

Saitos, the clan leader of , replied.

"The first place they landed was ......? What does that mean?

"Legend has it that our ancestors came from the sky in a flying ship and settled in this land.

Vasyako explained.

"<>...... is a ship that flies in the sky, I guess. It is said that he came from the sky on it.

Adriana thought about it.

She had heard that in her father Shuki's former world there was such a <>.

She also knew that the earth was round, not flat, and that it revolved around the sun.

He also knows that in Shuki's former world, it is possible to fly an artificial celestial body called <.

However, Adriana has no ambition for the sky yet.

Rather, she is only interested in the technology and knowledge that would allow her to build such a flying ship.

"I'd like to go there.

And so, naturally, the line comes out.

"You may not be able to go alone. If you insist, I can give you a guide.

Deeply impressed by Adriana's skills, the clan offers their full cooperation.

"Thank you very much.

Adriana accepted the offer without hesitation.

Adriana accepted the offer.

Two days later, Adriana took the golem, F-002, M-002 Adriana departed from the clan's village with the golem, F-002, and M-002.

The guide was Vasjaako. Adriana felt at ease with him, as she was already familiar with him.

Mr. Bashaako, it is a pleasure to meet you.

It will take me four or five days to get here.

Of course.

The golem will carry all our luggage, so it will be physically easy for us.

In case of emergency, you can also ride on the golem.

Well, I'll be on my way.

Take care.

It's summer, the time when the grass is sprouting and flowers are blooming in the northern lands. The weather is perfect for traveling.

The days are long and the nights are short.

Vasjaako's directions are reliable, and Adriana and the group head inland without making a single wrong turn.

Day 3.

"Adriana, we are going to arrive a day ahead of schedule.

"Are you sure?

"Yes. Yes. The golem is carrying our luggage, which is a big help. We should be there by nightfall.

Since we were mostly empty-handed, we were able to travel longer distances in a day, and we seemed to be less fatigued.

True to his word, we could see the village before the sun set.

"Is that it?

"Yes, that's it. ...... look, they found this one."

True to his word, I saw three people coming toward me from the village.

"This time, you don't have a letter of introduction, but rest assured that I will be accompanying you.

Adriana was immediately trusted because of the letter of introduction she had received from the <> clan when she visited the <> clan.

"...... can I help you?　......Oh, aren't you the basherkos of <>?"

One of the three men who approached, the oldest looking one, seemed to know Vashako. This makes the story go faster.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Harkiller."

The man they called Harkiller was about six feet tall. He was a slender, elderly man.

He was flanked on either side by a mature man who looked to be about 40 years old, and who seemed to be his escort.

He seemed to be escorting her. "That's an unusual thing. Are you related to the young lady?"

Herkiler glanced at Adriana.

"Yes, I am. My name is Adriana, and I am a Magecraft Meister.

"Magecraft Meister?　What is that?

This question was answered by Adriana.

"Well, a Magecraftsman is a person who has mastered all aspects of magical engineering.

"Oh, magical engineering?　I guess it's the study of making things with magic, isn't it?　That's interesting. So what brings you here?

"Of course, the knowledge, information and relics of the clans of the Gospel."

This is Vasjaako.

"After all, she has analyzed all the ancient artifacts of our clan and made the immobile things move.

These words had an effect.

"What?　As I recall, the ancient relics (artifacts) handed down in the <> were not limited to twenty, were they?"

As expected, Harkler could not hide his surprise.

"Yes, that's right. We had a total of 38 units repaired."

"I see. ......"

Then Haakkiller realized that he was standing there talking.

I beg your pardon. You must be Adriana, I am Hakirah, head of the clan. You are welcome.

My name is Adriana and it is a pleasure to meet you.

Harkiler introduces himself. Adriana also introduced herself and bowed.

Adriana also introduced herself and bowed.

"Thank you, Mr. Hakirah," she said.

Bashaco bowed his head and the group headed for the village of .

"What?

No wonder Adriana was surprised.

< lived not in the village, but in a cave drilled into a huge rocky hill behind the village.
